New Gaming PC

Budget:
[2500-3000]

[Run Max Quality Settings Easily]

[I have no idea]

I am looking to build a new Gaming PC that will easily run MMORPGs at max quality settings without lag and without overheating.

I would like to build a PC that will last, I have no idea when I'll be able to build and price out another PC. The last Custom Built PC I bought was sometime around 5-6 years ago.

I am also in the market for a new monitor but I don't know much about resolution or what a computer needs for great resolution. I'm one of those people that just wants my awesome pc to turn on and work when I press the button (lol).

I've had PCs over heat on me in the past and it's always a worry for me. I'm not familiar with how to work on PCs or upgrade them myself, and I know nothing about liquid cooling.

I would love for my PC to have RGB lights and be super shiny and pretty. I won't put fans in myself after I get my build so I would like the option to have all case fans put on for me in the building process. I really just want to get the computer, follow the directions for first turning it on and set up and have everything work amazing out of the box. I don't want to have to do anything else to it to make it work when I get it.

I listed my budget as 2500-3000 but I'd love to stay closer to the 2500 range only going closer to the 3000 range if I have to for the quality that I want. I also love listening to music on my computer so I understand that "on board" sound might not be the best and if I need an additional sound card that's fine too.

Really guys, I'm just lost. I have no idea what to build and I have no idea where to start. I'd appreciate any help you all could give me!

Thanks so much!

Strong build for you, Sabitrix.

The i7 9700K is a budget pick. It is every bit as fast as the i9 9900k for gaming. The only thing it lacks is the extra processing threads you don't need for gaming.

The power supply is very strong.

The all-in-one cooler is for the CPU. The GPU has its own fans onboard. The Corsair LL fans cool everything else. There are no cooling worries here.

The difference between a 2070 and a 2080 is a near total waste at 1080p, and not worth the money at 1440p. On the games you like to play, you would never see any difference.

HockeyBuck added a few items you don't absolutely need to get over the $3000 threshold for an extra $100 discount. (You get $300 for a build $3000 plus, $200 for a build $2000-2999.) The Stage 2 overclock, the Samsung 970 EVO PLUS, and the extra 16 GB of RAM are those.

Pick whichever one of those you want, and the extra discount pays for most or all of it. If you changed all three, you could save ~$200 is all, but up to you.

The CPU overclock very rarely has to be attended to. Probably less than 1% of DS customers ever have an issue. If it does, DS will do whatever is needed to help over the phone. They can re-set an overclock remotely. Your tech support is lifetime.

Save $35 right now, and stay above the $3000 plateau. Change the Samsung 970 PLUS to the 970 PRO. Both are excellent. You would never know the difference.

Thank you so much for the replies and the explanations! Stefanbojan that's a nice build too.

I was looking at this monitor, which is probably super bougie and not something I need but man it's gorgeous.

If I got this monitor, the computer builds we're discussing here could absolutely run this right?

Thanks again everyone, you've been more than helpful! I appreciate all of your help so very much! <3

I suggest G-SYNC Compatible-Asus-VG278QR-27" I have this one and I can say it's very good.
